Monday, 16 March, 2026
If you want to get promoted, create more career options, and stop feeling stuck at work, you need more than strong performance. In this episode of Control Your Career, Julia Toothacre breaks down how to position yourself for promotion by building real career leverage. Promotion decisions are rarely based on effort alone. Leaders evaluate trust, visibility, judgment, and risk. This episode explains how to build the five forms of career leverage that determine whether you are seen as promotable or simply dependable in your current role. You'll learn how to strengthen: Skill range that expands beyond your job description Professional reputation inside your organization Market visibility outside your company Financial flexibility that supports better career decisions Decision discipline when evaluating promotions or lateral moves If your career only advances when you apply for roles or push for recognition, you may still be operating in execution mode. This conversation will help you understand how to create positioning that leads to more career control, more influence, and stronger long-term growth. In the next episode, we go inside your organization and examine where promotion leverage is built day to day.
